I am appealing the determination that there are no additional, as the Bureau's own correspondence confirms that it exists. See 1435949-000, which requested $205 for 6,561 pages of records. I am happy to provide a copy of the letter if the Department of Justice is unable to locate it.

I am appealing the integrity of the denial in its entirety, as the subject is DECEASED, their role as an informant is known, and the Bureau cannot reasonably claim that no information is segregable in the THOUSANDS of withheld pages, which the Bureau quite bizarrely attempted to pretend didn't exist.
